Key Features

🔀 Smart Randomization

Sentences are intelligently shuffled for each session. No sentence repeats during a training session, ensuring maximum variety and preventing memorization of order.

🔄 Unlimited Repeats

Replay any sentence as many times as needed. Perfect for learning difficult phrases or practicing at your own pace without pressure.

🎯 Weighted Accuracy System

Advanced scoring gives full credit (100%) for perfect answers, partial credit (80%) for good comprehension, and motivates improvement with realistic progress tracking.

📊 Real-Time Statistics

Live progress tracking shows weighted accuracy, session breakdown, correct/partial/incorrect counts, and automatically saves detailed performance data to your account.

⚙ Flexible Sessions

Choose session length: 10, 25, 50, 100 sentences, or all available. Adapt training duration to your available time and energy level.

🎵 Professional Audio Engine

JSCWLIB-powered audio generation with precise timing, full speed/frequency/volume control, and Farnsworth timing support for optimal learning.

🎯 Performance Assessment System

The CW Sentences Trainer uses an advanced weighted accuracy system that recognizes three levels of comprehension, providing fair and motivating feedback for your learning progress.

100%
Perfect (Correct)

Complete understanding: Your answer matches the sentence exactly or with only minor capitalization/punctuation differences. Full credit for mastery.

80%
Good (Partial)

Good comprehension: You understood most of the sentence correctly (80%+ accuracy). Substantial credit for meaningful understanding.

0%
Needs Work (Incorrect)

Needs improvement: Less than 80% accuracy indicates the sentence needs more practice. Opportunity for focused learning.

📈 Weighted Accuracy Calculation

Your session accuracy is calculated using the weighted formula: (Perfect×1.0 + Good×0.8 + Incorrect×0.0) ÷ Total

Example: 5 perfect + 2 good + 1 incorrect = (5×1.0 + 2×0.8 + 1×0.0) ÷ 8 = 82.5% - reflecting your actual comprehension level rather than harsh pass/fail scoring.

🎊 Session Completion Summary

🔤 Text Processing & Display

Understanding how text is processed for CW transmission ensures accurate practice and prevents confusion. All sentences are automatically optimized for Morse code transmission while maintaining readability and consistency.

✂️ Apostrophe & Quote Removal

Apostrophes and quotes are completely removed from all sentences since they don't have standard CW equivalents. This creates cleaner, more transmittable text while preserving meaning.

❌ Original:
"Can't wait!" → I'm ready
It's John's car
"Hello," she said
✅ CW Transmitted:
CANT WAIT. IM READY
ITS JOHNS CAR
HELLO, SHE SAID

🔠 Consistent Uppercase Display

All sentences are displayed in UPPERCASE to match CW transmission standards. This eliminates confusion between what you see and what was actually transmitted in Morse code.

✅ What you see: HELLO SARAH, NICE TO MEET YOU
✅ What was transmitted: HELLO SARAH, NICE TO MEET YOU
✨ Perfect consistency - no mixed case confusion!

⌨️ Case-Insensitive Input Validation

Type your answers in any case - the system intelligently normalizes both your input and the correct answer for fair comparison. Focus on accuracy, not capitalization!

Correct sentence: CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU
✅ All these are correct:
  • • cant wait to see you
  • • CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU
  • • Cant Wait To See You
  • • CaNt WaIt To SeE yOu
❌ These are incorrect:
  • • can't wait to see you
  • • cant wait too see you
  • • cant wait to see
  • • wait to see you

📝 Smart Punctuation Processing

Punctuation is automatically optimized for CW transmission while preserving sentence structure and readability.

Transformation Rules:
  • Apostrophes/Quotes: Removed
  • Exclamation marks: → Period (.)
  • Hyphens/Dashes: → Space
  • Semicolons/Colons: → Comma (,)
  • Keep: Periods, Commas, Questions (?)
Examples:
  • Well-done! → WELL DONE.
  • Note: important → NOTE, IMPORTANT
  • How are you? → HOW ARE YOU?
  • It's ready → ITS READY

🌍 International Character Support

Special characters from different languages are automatically normalized to their basic equivalents for consistent CW transmission and validation.

French:
à,â,ç,è,ê,ë,î,ï,ô,ù,û
→ A,A,C,E,E,E,I,I,O,U,U
Spanish:
ñ,ü → N,U
German:
ä,ö,ü,ß → A,O,U,SS
✨ Your typing can include accented characters - they're automatically normalized for comparison!

🎯 Key Benefits of This System

  • No confusion - See exactly what was transmitted
  • Focus on content - Not capitalization or punctuation details
  • Real-world accuracy - Practice actual CW transmission standards
  • International support - Works with all supported languages
  • Flexible typing - Type in any case, get fair validation
  • Professional quality - Matches amateur radio CW conventions

Why Choose CW Sentences Training?

🌍 Practical & Real-World Focused

Unlike random character practice, every sentence has immediate practical value. Learn phrases you'll actually use in conversations, making your CW skills directly applicable to real communication.

🧠 Context-Based Learning

Sentences provide context that helps with comprehension and retention. Your brain processes complete thoughts better than isolated characters, leading to faster learning and better recall.

🗣 Cultural & Social Awareness

Learn not just the language, but how to communicate appropriately in different cultural contexts. Master polite expressions, social norms, and conversational patterns that make you sound natural.

💪 Builds Confidence

Familiarity with ready-to-use sentences boosts confidence in real conversations. You'll have a toolkit of phrases ready for immediate use in various situations.

Troubleshooting

No audio playing

Check browser permissions for audio. Some browsers require user interaction before playing audio. Try the "Test Audio" button first.

Sentences not loading

Ensure you have internet connection. Sentence files are loaded from the server. Try refreshing the page or selecting a different language.

Answer checking not working

Make sure you're in "Type Answer" mode. The check answer feature is only available in typing mode, not listen-only mode.

My answer shows as incorrect but looks right

Remember that apostrophes are removed (Can't → CANT) and everything is case-insensitive. Check the revealed answer to see exactly what was transmitted. If you typed "can't wait" but the CW sent "CANT WAIT", then you need to type without the apostrophe.

Audio too fast/slow

Adjust the Speed (WPM) slider in Audio & Speed Settings. For beginners, start at 15-20 WPM. For character speed different from word speed, adjust Farnsworth timing.

Accuracy seems wrong

The system uses weighted accuracy: Perfect (100%), Good/Partial (80%), Incorrect (0%). This gives partial credit for good comprehension. Hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) if you see outdated calculations.

Statistics not saving

Ensure you're logged in to your account. Statistics are automatically saved when you complete a session. Check your account status in the top menu or visit the Statistics page to verify data is being recorded.

Session completion not showing

Complete all sentences in your session to see the formatted completion summary. If the toast notification doesn't appear, check if your browser blocks notifications or try refreshing the page.
